NYC Peer Specialist Conference Registration Now Open!

NYAPRS Note: The 17th Annual NYC Conference for Working Peer Specialists is being held in person at the NYU Kimmel Center on July 20, 2023!  “Rising to the Call: Joining the Evolution of our Peer Support Workforce” acknowledges the ever expanding and remarkable peer support workforce. The recent surge in peer support services during COVID-19 is just one example of rising to the call to support others through connections driven by hope, identification, and unparalleled passion. Although peer support continues to be under scrutiny by its skeptics, overcoming challenge and claiming individual purpose are hallmarks for the recovery journey. Whether you hail from mental health, substance use, justice-impacted, youth, or family peer support, rising to the call is characterized by the innate ability to hear others with empathetic ears and understand others through a lens of lived experience. This annual conference offers opportunities for professional development, continuing education, skills acquisition and enhancement, healing, and purposeful networking.  Register Now!
